The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth

A colleague recommended it, and wow, what a read—such insight. I understand the topic of psychological safety so much better. The examples show much of what is right and wrong about business and work-life today in the 21st century—an essential read for all managers and business owners.

A really fascinating book and an important read to understand how to engage staff in a positive and inclusive way. I recommend this for any people leading and managing teams as a way to create a space to get genuine feedback and make employees opinions feel valued.

After seeing Amy Edmondson speak live earlier this year, I finally got around to reading this. I loved this more nuanced exploration of what psychological safety is and isn't, that it isn't a single silver bullet, and exactly how it plays A role, rather than THE role, in organisational success. A terrific 4 star read.

This book is absolutely outstanding. Time after time, the examples give deep insight into the perils of fear-based, command and control cultures that can bring down an organisation. But this isn't just a list of examples good and bad. The author builds a model and a toolkit guide - explaining how to implement a culture of psychological safety in which people speak up. If you ever worry whether people are telling you what's really going on - this is the help you need. I would give it 6 stars if allowed.

An engaging yet science based book - a great read for all business leaders or those interested in improving their workplace.

An extremely well-researched book, I felt it was missing some pragmatic tools and techniques for a practitioner to implement into the workforce

I work in an organisation that thinks it values everyone, and aims to have an open and honest culture, but there's variability in how that gets implemented and there are still knee-jerk threats made about "if anyone does that again, they'll be..." So even in a relatively mature organisation with a generally good safety culture, and good intentions, there is still lots for each individual to understand about the impacts and implications of what they say and do. I'm lucky in that at least my organisation and industry know where they ought to be heading, there are others where the philosophy in this book will be completely eye-opening. Read it, use it and share it.

A great book on organisational psychology that is laid out in 2 parts. The first part is all about the problems that can surface if people feel unable to speak up in organisations. The second part describes some solutions that can be put in place to overcome these problems. And this creates what the author describes as a ‘fearless organisation’ I really enjoyed this and will use some of the learnings in my own work

Congratulations Amy Edmondson on this book! It is an easy and entertaining read as well as highly relevant for each and every person working in an organization. Every internal auditor should pledge themselves to read it. I already published one podcast on the contents of this book. More will follow, because this book is so important for #internalaudit work. To all internal auditors: - Please read this book - Please use this framework to better the organization you are auditing - Under VUCA conditions, the most important key performance indicator is, if sufficient psychological safety is present. - So please read this book, so that you get a metric about how leaders should - set the stage for psychological safety - invite participation - respond productively Thank you Amy Edmondson for this phenomenal book, that is so very relevant for my work as an internal auditor.

Highly recommend reading this also with your team. This book is about how to build intentionally psychological safety within your team and get the benefit that will blow your organization into the next level. Learn from so many cases that successfully adopt this and which one who failed so badly. Her insight sparks me to be brave to speak up and more intentionally listen - go down - to others. Thank you for this book.

great read with many real cases from different industries, companies, organizations; enjoyed every page and learned many practical ideas.

There's a wealth of information in this book. It's Amy Edmondson after all. The book is very well structured and is a holy grail for anyone wanting to deep dive into the subject of psych safety.

This book offers many practical insights and tips on creating effective psychological safety at work.
